I guess it would, however any lecturers or academics out there will know some general tips on what makes a paper stand out or not..
Alright, I'll bite. A bit. Just a little bit.
I am a lecturer and academic, and I have corrected and graded thousands of essays, exams and assignments.
Firstly, I appreciate that you are in a hurry, and are a bit stressed out;
and, moreover, that this is a forum where, by definition, one has escaped from everyday life, whiling and idling away many a happy hour, and, as such, one does not necessarily - and nor is one expected to - conform to accepted standards of grammar and spelling.....however, and in this context, as you have asked for such help, it is a big however, I will say that your OP is full of spelling and grammatical errors which I would find inexcusable in any sort of written offering from a student.
If you ask for help in writing an essay, please phrase that request in proper prose and pay attention to what you write and how you write it. It is not enough to say "I'll tidy it up as I write" - write properly in the first place, and you won't have to tidy up after yourself.
You have received much good advice - concerning planning and structure - already in this thread, so I won't repeat it.
Pay close attention to your thesis/title/topic: Is this something you have set yourself (with advice and mentoring from a tutor/TA?lecturer) or was it set for you?
What is it asking you to do?
Are you being asked to throw everything you know at it in the hope that something would stick (unlikely, as the question then asked would be "Tell me everything you know about X?")
As this is not the case, what you are being asked is to intelligently interrogate the material, critically analyse it, and by doing that, you demonstrate that you have mastered it.
That means that you must show, in the course of your answer, that you are aware of, and understand, the source material, or key works, written about what you are discussing - what scholars in the field have already said. Feel free to disagree with their analyses, and arguments, (and data) if you feel you can give good reasons for doing so. Give sources in favour and sources against - make sure that whoever grades your essay knows that your are familiar with the material, and familiar with the literature which deals with it.
Very often, at university, there are no absolutely right or wrong answers. Yes, there are howlers which can be made, but what is being examined is how well the student shows that they
understand the material, rather than simple rote learning. That means, that you are allowed to question - or interrogate - it, be 'it' sources, data, conclusions, or even the very question itself. Some of the very best assignments I graded showed that sort of evidence of critical thought. They asked questions of the data, and offered intelligent suggestions as to what the answer might be.
I'll give an example: A good few years ago, as part of a first year politics course, I taught a section which dealt with social class. The main source material for the subsequent class assignment was the same for everyone - a lengthy scholarly text containing assumed percentages on the percentage breakdown of the various social classes at that time.
In their assignments,virtually every student gave me back the same stuff, basically a regurgitated version of the text as a well written description. Only one guy examined the text, and decided to ask questions of it. He started by adding all of the statistics for the various social classes together and was surprised to find that they came to a total of around 91% rather than the 100% which he would have assumed. Then he interrogated the data - asking how and what and who and where were the missing 9%. He argued - quite credibly to my mind - that they contained those who fell through the cracks of society, and so weren't measured....the homeless, the imprisoned, those in mental asylums and so on. In other words, he interrogated the material brilliantly and I gave him first class honours for an original, intelligent, well-argued and superbly well-written paper.
Good luck with it.
